Chapter 1768: A Blessing in Misfortune
"You told her everything?"
Xiao Yi asked Na Ruoyun.
"I mentioned the existence of Cang Di and his people to her, saying that Master...died at the hands of their clan..."
Na Ruoyun explained, and without saying anything more, she followed.
"You don't remember everything, do you?"
Xiao Yi frowned and chased after him.
When they arrived outside the bedroom of another wooden house, they could already hear Chu Zexuan's heart-wrenching cry.
Xiao Yi thought about it, paused, and did not enter the room for a while, but just sat down in the living room outside.
A few minutes later, Xiao Wantang came out of the room.
"Have you remembered everything?"
Xiao Yi stood up and asked.
"No, it seems unclear what happened at the dojo last time."
Xiao Wantang explained.
"This... is fine. It's better than remembering everything all of a sudden. I'm afraid it would be even more unbearable."
Xiao Yi nodded, and the mother and son sat down again. The crying sound was still coming from the room from time to time.
"I lost my mother when I was a teenager, and now I have been reborn from purgatory and finally met my father, but I am unconscious. In the end, this is the result."
Xiao Wantang sighed softly, feeling very sad.
"No matter what, Senior Chu should feel better before leaving."
Xiao Yi said.
"Of course. As a parent, all we want is for our children to be safe. This is a blessing in disguise."
Xiao Wantang nodded.
"Just like I am willing to give everything for you, your grandfather almost lost his life for me before."
"Mother……"
Xiao Yi's nose felt sore, and he thought of the scene when the mother and son met, and he was deeply moved.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Xiao Wantang changed the subject and didn't want Xiao Yi to think about his father again.
"How are the affairs of Old Devil Chu going to be arranged? Will he return to the academy?"
"Yes, this is what Chu Yiming and the others meant. The academy is the senior's home, and his disciples are waiting for him. I plan to send the senior back tomorrow. Of course, I have to discuss this with his daughter."
"Um……"
"Mother, you should go home tomorrow. Grandfather is in seclusion, so you shouldn't stay outside for too long."
"Alright."
Xiao Wantang nodded in response.
The mother and son chatted for a while, and the room finally became much calmer. Xuanyuan Yunxi and Ji Ranran temporarily left.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Yunxi and the other person's injuries had not yet fully recovered, Xiao Wantang took them to practice.
"Sister, how is the Saint?"
When Xiao Yi saw Saint Zi Ling coming back, he asked hurriedly.
"Fortunately, the foundation was not damaged, but it will take more than a day or two to fully recover."
Saint Zi Ling's expression was quite complicated.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."
Xiao Yi also looked solemn.
"This result is already very good. Thanks to you being here, otherwise the saint would be even more seriously injured."
Saint Zi Ling said.
"In fact, I didn't do anything. If I were stronger, I could help the Saint with more of the burden."
Xiao Yi shook his head.
"No, Xiaoyi, you have done a lot. Both father and saint are very happy for you."
Saint Zi Ling looked serious.
"It's really the complicated situation right now that has put too much pressure on you and the burden on your shoulders is too heavy."
“It’s true that the burden is heavy.”
Xiao Yi was serious.
"But...it's true that I have many wives, and I have to thank my master for that."
"hehe."
Saint Zi Ling smiled and shook her head.
"Senior sister looks better when she smiles."
Xiao Yi said seriously that they had known each other for a while, but this was the first time he saw Saint Zi Ling smile like this.
Saint Zi Ling was stunned. Xiao Yi's words really touched her heart.
"The Saint will be going back to retreat tomorrow. He will see you again later tonight."
Saint Zi Ling thought of something and spoke again.
"okay, I get it."
Xiao Yi nodded.
Afterwards, Saint Zi Ling left temporarily, and Xiao Yi was the only one sitting alone in the living room.
He was thinking back on what had happened in the past two days and was also thinking about the trouble that would come. Compared to the Dark Palace, his primary target was still the Netherworld Villa.
Not only because Netherworld Villa wanted to kill him, but he also wanted to find out more about his father...
After thinking for a while, it was already dark outside. Xiao Yi came to his senses and got up and went into the room.
At this time, Chu Zexuan had fallen asleep on the other bed in the room, and Na Ruoyun was standing by her side, taking good care of her.
Looking at Ruoyun's back, Xiao Yi felt a little distressed.
Seeing him come in, Na Ruoyun stood up and made a gesture, and the two of them quickly left the room and came outside.
"Senior sister just went to bed."
Na Ruoyun looked tired.
"Ruoyun, you've been very busy these past two days. You should take a good rest."
Xiao Yi said with concern and pulled Ruoyun's hand.
The two sat on the stone steps in front of the door. Na Ruoyun leaned her head on Xiao Yi's shoulder, and tears fell silently again.
Xiao Yi sensed something, reached out his hand, and gently wiped Ruoyun's hair, feeling very uncomfortable.
"You should be happy for your senior."
Xiao Yi said softly.
"Um……"
Na Ruoyun sniffed, hugged Xiao Yi's arm tightly, and her voice trembled slightly.
"I just... also thought of my father..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi's heart moved. Looking at Ruoyun again, she buried her face in his arms and sobbed.
Xiao Yi felt a lump in his throat and he hugged Na Ruoyun tightly. After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time he saw his fiancée being so vulnerable.
He thought of the promise he had made to Na Ruoyun that once they got the artifact that belonged to her, they would go home together to worship her father.
"So... could the Kunlun Mirror be the artifact that belongs to Ruoyun?"
Xiao Yi muttered to himself.
The bright moonlight shines down, and the surroundings are peaceful except for the occasional, brief and crisp chirping of insects.
At this moment, in stark contrast to the noise of recent days, the hearts of the two people calmed down completely.
After that, the two of them didn't have any more verbal communication. They just snuggled together and admired the bright night sky.
It was not until very late when he sensed a breath of air that Xiao Yi calmed down and let Ruoyun go back to her room temporarily.
"Let's go for a walk."
The voice of Saint Yuanshan fell.
Xiao Yi nodded, walked out of the yard, and soon saw Saint Yuanshan who was waiting a hundred meters away.
"Senior, how are you?"
Xiao Yi stepped forward and asked.
"The injury is basically stable, don't worry."
Saint Yuanshan replied, but his face still looked pale in the moonlight.
Xiao Yi opened his mouth, but didn't ask any more questions for a moment. He really couldn't help much.
"Don't take it so seriously, kid. What I said during the day will still apply to you from now on."
Saint Yuanshan said as he walked.
"what?"
Xiao Yi was puzzled.
"Just do what you have to do... Even if your... Senior Sister is injured, just look forward."
Saint Yuanshan said seriously, but what he originally wanted to say was 'your master'.
"I see……"
Xiao Yi frowned and quickly followed.
"I can rest assured that Chu Zexuan and your senior sister will help you. Moreover, Muxiu and the rest of the dragon clan will also support you."
Saint Yuanshan spoke again.
"I……"
"Just do what you want to do. As for An Dian... I hope you can understand one thing."
"You say."
"The complexity of the Kunlun Realm cannot be completely changed or stabilized by eliminating one or two entities like the Dark Palace."
Saint Yuanshan said in a deep voice.
